Tribe Syndication ~ The Secret Source To Free Traffic

February 13, 2011 By 12 Comments

“A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate. … Tribes need leadership. Sometimes one person leads, sometimes more. People want connection and growth and something new. They want change. … You can’t have a tribe without a leader – and you can’t be a leader without a tribe.” ~ Seth Godin

Benefit #1:  Leverage:

Rather than doing the work necessary for effective blog syndication yourself, you’ll have a group of people doing it for you.
We’re not here to use each other for personal gain only. That’s why this blogging alliance works so well. You MUST look out for others first. But you can leverage others for group benefit. This is a tremendous time saver and will yield major results.

Benefit #2: Social Proof

Since you get so many ReTweets, Comments and people joining your Google Friend Connect and Facebook “Like” page and more, the benefit is increased social credibility.

Benefit #3: Content Syndication

Syndicating someone else’s content is a way of showing that they have value…this is very POWERFUL. You are not only promoting that person to your followers, but you’re giving that person social proof.
Even if you’re new to social media, you can accelerate your success by having an established alliance supporting you.

Benefit #4: Exposure

If you are looking to make a name for yourself and brand yourself, the type of exposure you receive will give you that all important social credibility.

This can lead to many added benefits, such as More Business Partners for your business opportunities. More Subscribers to your blog for updates and for free give aways. This can be one of your most valuable assets.

Benefit #5:  Relationships

Building relationships is a benefit as well as a requirement for a blogging alliance. You will actually strengthen your established relations as the alliance continues to mature. Just like making friends and connections offline you need to work with your friends online. You will make some incredible new friendships within the community as well. One of the key components of your online or offline success is building and maintaining relationships, so that people will know, like and trust you.

You will be able to tap into the massive community of like-minded entrepreneurs that you can network and mastermind with to reach your business goals.

Benefit #6: Mentoring & Training

Within the community there is a ton of training and mentoring, designed to accelerate the learning curve based on key tips and strategies to be a better blogger, marketer, and entrepreneur. ( the value = PRICELESS )

We all want to keep learning and growing our knowledge. Plus the ability to be able to offer that type of training to others is a bonus. Here is one of my favorite Brian Tracy quotes:
“No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.”

Benefit #7: Joint Ventures

As your exposure grows, both from your blog and within your own Tribe Alliance, you will be approached by new people who want to partner with you in one of your business opportunities. One key aspect to a blogging alliance is to learn how to monetize your blogs and products as soon as possible.

Benefit #8:  Traffic

Once you join a Blogging Alliance and become involved and make the commitment to the team and the cause, you WILL see a MASSIVE increase in traffic to your blog.

Benefit #9: Personal Branding

Along with the increase in traffic and exposure comes an increase in your brand recognition. You will have people telling you all the time that they see your content everywhere on the social media sites. So, the key is to add value and make sure to publish quality content. It is your reputation and you want people to follow you.

Benefit #10:  More Comments

Increased traffic means more people commenting on your quality content. When that happens, you will be able to interact with visitors and create a community feeling and main hub for sharing your passion, your values, goals and opportunities with your followers.

So, the only remaining question is…

Do I want to promote my own information, products or services by myself, or leverage the power and massive exposure of a blogging alliance?

How an Email Signature Can Be a Good Way to Promote a Blog

February 6, 2011 By 8 Comments


If you are planning to promote a blog, you must be asking yourself – how can I do it?

Most specially if your blog just talks about personal stuff and people might not relate to the entries at all. Do not worry because blog promotion hasn’t been this easy. All it takes is a few lines and that’s when the magic starts. A few lines in your signature can make a lot of difference!

Imagine the number of people you send mail to. Every day it is possible to send an email to thousands of people in just a single click of a button.

That’s how powerful internet is. If you link your signature to your blog all the recipients of your email will be getting as well the direct link to your blog. This will indeed increase traffic on your site. It is obvious that with high traffic, the more successful your blog will be. That’s the magic of signatures.

A simple example of signatures are just short and sweet phrases. It doesn’t have to be long. Once you are set, it is possible to send an email to thousands of people in just a single click of a button. There is no need to add complication to the promotion of your blog.

With these tips in mind, you will have higher traffic of visits on your blog and that is definitely a win – win situation for you. Just remember. With email signatures, your blog promotion will be as easy as ABC. No need to make it fancy, just the plain old signature will do just the same.

Don’t Do This to Your Email Sig!

If you send out emails a lot, and if you write to a lot of friends and family, then you may be aware of the power of your email signature. A lot of businesspersons use their email signature in order to show their contact information, which can save them the effort of having to provide all of it in their email, and which can also save them the effort of having to sign every single email. Some business owners also use their email signature to post information about their offerings, or to advertise big discounts or sales that their customers might want to hear about or be updated on.

Even writers need an email signature in order to post their favorite quotes, or even their favorite passages from their own works.

An email signature acts as an identifier, and if used well, it can be a great way for you to post information about yourself and get a lot of people to visit your blog. However, you can also overestimate the power of this email signature, and if you do not make your email signature carefully and with your audience in mind, then no one will visit your blog.

If you are interested in promoting your blog through a great email signature, then here are a few tips that you may want to take into account when knowing what not to do.

- Be considerate of people who have to work with slow Internet connections: avoid placing multimedia files in your email signature.

Some email software will allow you to place photos and videos in your email signature. If you are working with people who have fast Internet connections, these files can load properly and quickly. But if you are working with people who are still using dial-up Internet, then you may put their computers in a whole lot of trouble. Save them this trouble by keeping your email signature to a text-only format.

- Don’t overload on the text, either. You may be tempted to put in paragraphs and paragraphs of text, with smilies and other emoticons that you think will make your signature look “cute.”

The thing is, such a signature stops being cute when someone is forced to read through it. Think of how tired your eyes would be if you were made to read through a sea of words; now, transfer that to an email signature, and think of what your email reader would think if you had to post information on your blog using a thousand words!

- Don’t just hyperlink: put your blog address down. Some blog owners will often put the words “click here” and hyperlink it to the blog. This may not show up when email readers select a “text only” option when reading their emails, and clicking on a hyperlink while the browser is not open can tax on a computer’s resources. Keep your blog address readable.

- Avoid putting colors in your text: the simpler, the better. You don’t have to overload on the text formatting in order to make your email signature nice to look at and appealing. Stay with the staid and simple black, and avoid having to change colors or have words that need to be colored in or formatted. Again, if you have email readers who have the “text only” option on, all your colors and formats will be gone.

- Stay with three lines of text, and avoid going for more than this. Think of the succinct compactness of a dog tag: dog’s name on one line, owner’s name on the next, and then contact information on the last line.

Happy Blogging!

7 Ways to Leave Comments and Drive Traffic Back to Your Blog

February 5, 2011 By 18 Comments

“Blogging is best learned by blogging…and by reading other bloggers.” ~ George Siemens


People say that to make an impression, you’ll have to open your mouth. While that is physically impossible in the virtual world of the Internet, saying your piece is not entirely difficult to do. Thanks to forums and discussion boards, you can leave a comment or start a discussion thread about virtually any topic from anywhere in the world. And yes, you can even leave comments to drive traffic to your blog and increase your readership.

Leaving effective comments

You’re probably old enough to know that not every comment that gets thrown into an opportunity for interaction creates the desired effect, much less become appreciated by those who hear or read it. If you don’t use this technique carefully, you will either waste the opportunity or simply allow it to create the wrong impression.

Here are 7 ways you ought to do it:

Choose the sites you leave comments on

Keep this in mind before you leave comments on a website. Just because you have the burning need to drive traffic to your blog doesn’t mean you can just drop by a site – any site – and write there.

Choose the sites and blogs whose forums you participate with. Find out if the site deals with a topic or subject related to your very own blog. Practice only purposeful commenting – the kind where you leave only well-crafted comments on sites that will help build the buzz about your blog.

If the site is completely irrelevant but you have the urge to leave a comment, do so only during your spare time. Otherwise, focus your energies only on more productive activities.

Know what you’re saying

Before you leave a comment with the purpose of driving traffic to your blog, at least write one that is useful. Your goal is to be noticed AND respected for your opinions so leaving useless and dead end comments such as ‘Cool!’ and ‘Way to go!’ just won’t cut it.

If this is the best you can do, forget about leaving comments right now and focus on other strategies to drive traffic to your blog. Better avoid this technique than be embarrassed or be viewed as lame or mediocre.

But if you can write and have something meaningful to say, by all means, do so. With every comment you have, make sure you keep it short, concise, to the point and useful. Talk about relevant topics and avoid those that will do nothing for your purpose.

Avoid strong language

Of course, some sites will probably allow you to leave comments that are strongly worded or at least camouflaged as symbols such as !#$%&*, but there are ways to get your point across, regardless of how angry, upset or argumentative you are.

Furthermore, majority of sites and blogs impose certain regulations that restrict the use of certain words. Try to rephrase a sentence without losing its main thought. Use an online thesaurus, if necessary. Remember that once a comment is posted online, there’s no way to get it back especially if it’s not your site. You can leave that comment there to rot but you can never take it back.

Do not be rude

Have a sense of humor. The Internet is a vast expanse of space, currently limitless. In fact, it’s a whole universe unto itself. If people leave comments on your post that seem to insult you or argue with you, don’t fight back without thinking.
First of all, we are a democracy and people have every right to their own opinion.

Second, firing back with the same kind of idiotic language will not be a good reflection on you. Third, you’re way better than that. If you must defend your stand, do so with class.

Calm down

Please, if you must drive traffic to your blog by leaving comments on other websites, keep it professional and tone it down.
DON’T LEAVE MESSAGES LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!!

A good rule of thumb is to follow accepted structure of the English language or whatever language it is you’re using to post. If you must use exclamatory points, make sure they are truly needed. Otherwise, avoid them.
Leaving comments written in purely bold or capitalized letter smacks of desperation and unprofessionalism. It’s hardselling and makes people stay away in droves.

Check replies to your blogs

Maximize commenting on other sites and drive traffic by frequently checking back on the forum you participated in to see if there are any replies to the post you left. This is a good way to build buzz and network.

Check your facts

If you will be quoting someone or citing a certain study, make sure your facts can be corroborated. Don’t use make believe or newly invented figures and statements or even half-truths and try to pass them off as legit. You will be exposed. If you want to drive traffic to your blog by leaving comments, make sure you don’t tarnish your reputation with the effort.

Happy Blogging!

What Is Social Networking All About ?

January 30, 2011 By 1 Comment

There are many different reasons that social networks exist.
Likewise these social gatherings serve many purposes for those
who use them.

If you consider yourself Internet savvy, then you probably
already have a pretty good idea what social networking is.
Whether you are a networking professional or just getting introduced
to the Internet, social networking web sites are increasing and doing
quite well, both for the network creators as well as those who join
them.

So what exactly is social networking and what’s it all
about?

Read on as we explore this phenomenon.

A basic definition of social networking is important to
understand what it’s all about. A broad definition is the
gathering of people in an online community for the purpose of
sharing interests and activities together.

What are members looking to accomplish when they join a social
network ?

SOCIALIZING

This may speak for itself on the surface but actually socializing
is one of the primary ways that we communicate with each other.
Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to socialize on
virtually whatever level you desire with people from all walks of
life. Networks exist for every interest; from the simply trivial to the
absolute essentials. Since the Internet affords a level of anonymity that
many people appreciate, this online form of socializing can be intimate,
therapeutic, confidential and just plain fun.

NETWORKING

This normally brings to mind the idea of people gathering
together to create a group of people with a common goal such as
finding jobs or raising funds for a charity or forming business
alliances. Today the Internet connects people from around the world
into social networks for sharing pictures, blogs, live chats, instant
messaging, emailing and virtually any other social idea you can come
up with.

NETWORK MARKETING/AFFILIATE MARKETING

Here are opportunities to promote products and services through
exposure that comes with belonging to a social networks. If you
are a member of a social network, you have probably seen the
advertisements that are placed on the pages of social network members.
Now, one of the greatest ways to get network marketing and affiliate sales
is by marketing your business on every available social network.

Plus, with the social networks that offer a compensation plan, there is
an added benefit for Network Marketers. As a Network Marketer, it can be
difficult attempting to recruit another Marketer into your business that
already has a business they promote due to the concerns of cross recruiting.

But, now Network Marketers can work together in a relaxed, non-threatening
way where there is no competition with another Primary business..Just
Marketers helping one another to succeed.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Many website owners are turning to social networks to gain added
SEO with general information about a particular subject. These
articles can be placed as blog comments or stand alone pieces
that must be placed in the appropriate forums. With the proper use
of certain keywords placed as back links in the articles, an
article can create a wonderful search engine placement benefit
for those looking to generate new customers and increase
profits.

FUN

With so many urgent situations being broadcast in the media, the
opportunity to connect with others in a social setting such as the
ones that social networks provide is fun. After a hard day at work or
searching for work, there is plenty of pleasure to be gained from
sitting down in front of the computer and finding several messages
from friends in your social network. Social networking can relieve
stress and provide hours of enjoyable time online.

So if you have not joined a social network yet, go to your
favorite search engine, and search for some social networks
related to your interest. Find one that you are comfortable with,
one that looks active, and join the crowd!

Looking forward to networking with you soon..

Please connect with me on my social networks..you will find them on the sidebar of the blog.

To your success,
Marc
